    Thomas Graham developed Graham's Law in 1848, which states that at constant pressure and temperature, gases with lower molecular masses will effuse or diffuse more quickly than gases with higher molecular masses. Specifically, Graham discovered that the rate of effusion or diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass. Graham's Law is typically applied to compare the rates of two different gases under the same pressure and temperature conditions. Large interparticle distances facilitate gas diffusion by allowing particles of one gas to fill the spaces between particles of another gas.

    Thomas Graham developed Graham's Law, also known as Graham's Law of Effusion,
    in the year 1848. The effusion process has an important characteristic that Thomas
    Graham discovered through experimentation: lighter gas molecules will move more
    quickly than heavier ones.

    At constant pressure and temperature, Graham's Law states that lower molecular mass
    molecules or atoms will effuse more quickly than higher molecular mass counterparts.
    Even the rate of their diffusional egress was discovered by Thomas. It means that a
    gas's rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the square root of its molecular mass.
    Typically, this equation is applied when comparing the rates of two different gases at
    equivalent pressures and temperatures.

    The kinetic energy of gas particles is high. Since they can move quickly, there is a high
    rate of diffusion. Large interparticle distances are essential for diffusion because they
    enable the other gas's particles to fill the space between them.
